Well I'm making up for the couple of weeks of not blogging and 'less is more' ing today. Third card for this week's challenge is using, yes you guessed it - paint strips 'borrowed' from a local D-I-Y store. I thought it would make an ideal new home card so I punched out house shapes from the piece I cut off the side and then did a handwritten sentiment. Base card is a 5inch square plain white.Nothing else, as the saying goes - it does what it says on the tin! - new home.
